To Augustin Daily We owe the one perfect
stock company we have In Amerca-aud
We also owe to him the development Of Ada
Rehan, into what she Is to .dAy-the foremost
comedienne of the English speaking stage.
When Daily first cast Miss Rehan in bis
plays she was in the first flush OF young
womanhood; moderately tall, she possessed
. form to which increasing years have only
added in beauty. 1t was not long before
her smile captivating in the extreme drew to
the house every one both old and young, and
1t became quite the rage to go and see her.
Fortunately for her, aud more fortunately
for the stage, her success by no means turned
her head. 1t only made her work the harder,
and become yet more ambitious. She was
cast ss leading in all Of Days comedies and
through . long list OF these sustained her
reputation and added TO her laurela In

is really her ideal, the tones and the manner
in which in Nancy 4 Co, " she reproaches
"Tippy Brscher " for disturbing her, win all
hearts to her. She has ever been cast with
MrJno Drew, and To this finished comedian's
acting she doubtless owes much OF the effect
she produces When the DAILY troupe first
visited England, the English critics could
see little merit in her acting and passed her
by as an eccentric comedienne. On her Sec
ond tour, however, she carried everything
before her, like storm, both in London ana
the provinces, whilst Paris and Berlin we're
alike enrspsured by her acting. But 1t Is In
Days last success, the " Tanning OF the
Snrew, " that she gained her most complete
triumph, as "Katharine." She is a. perfect a
termsgent As could well be imagined, and
when at last she yields to her master, she
